Easy to use, variety of beverage choices, easy to clean

I bought this machine just before Christmas and with everyone around we tried almost all of the beverage choices. It produced high quality beverages - we enjoyed them all. The machine is classy looking, easy to use and easy to clean. I especially like the milk carafe. It steams the milk perfectly automatically. The quick clean function keeps the carafe clean and ready to pop back in the fridge. Great instruction booklet explains the different beverages and how to custom make some of them, how to clean and has a troubleshooting section. Two of the reasons I bought this machine are the automatic milk frother and the ability to adjust the temperature of the coffee - both great.
Cons: ground coffee bypass is sometimes messy., a larger water tank would be nice
Pros: easy to use, great beverages
I would recommend this to a friend!

The coffee drinks produced by this machine are nothing short of spectacular! In fact, I can’t even stand to drink the coffee that is served at work for free anymore (and free is a big draw for me). We LOVE this machine. The only downside is the ongoing maintenance, but even that really isn’t that big of a deal in the bigger picture. You have to take apart the milk carafe and clean it weekly as well as rinse the brew group weekly. There is also a monthly maintenance procedure that is time consuming. I will say that I wish I could put the brew group in the dishwasher, but other than that, not too much hassle. I will reiterate that the the coffee produced by this machine makes any maintenance required worth it. I perform the maintenance happily, knowing I get to enjoy a perfect cappuccino or espresso lungo whenever I want at the touch of a button. Pricey but worth it if you love coffee.
Cons: maintenance procedure time consuming
Pros: amazing coffee, sleek design, compact
I would recommend this to a friend!

Saeco PicoBaristo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ease of use right out of the box was surprisingly simple. One criteria critical to me is a hot cup of coffee and I was really impressed with just how hot it gets. I’ve had the machine now for only one week, but have tried almost every option of drink and all have been outstanding and so simple to make. I would highly recommend this machine!

Really Easy to Use and Produces an Excellent Latte

We had a Jura semi automatic espresso maker for years but this is far and away much easier to use.
The milk foam/froth produced by the Pico Barista beats the best barista pulled latte.
Easy clean-up and maintenance.
What's not to love?
Pros: great milk frothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

Like all Philips products this does not disappoint. Coffee comes out perfect and the milk frother is perfect. Time to wait for coffee or a cappuccino is very short and cleaning is simple.

I love everything except that it's difficult to use my panarello attachment because when I select steam, it runs for only a set amount of time. I then have to push the steam button again to finish. Also, for some reason, the designers decided to attach the drip tray to the face plate. Poor design, in my opinion. The size is fine, the aqua filter is great, and the machine is good quality and attractive. I just wish developers would consult end users before development.
Cons: drip tray attached to face plate, difficult to use panarello
Pros: good quality sleek
I would recommend this to a friend!
